Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for observing with the passage of time the state of a mechanical seal provided on a rotary machine while the rotary machine is being operated.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a method and an apparatus for observing a mechanical seal during operations in order to spot any abnormal state such as damage thereof or the possibility of leakage of sealed fluid therefrom and thereby to predict impending failure of the mechanical seal in advance or at an early stage.
  • the present invention provides a method for observing the operating state of a mechanical seal which comprises the steps of measuring with the passage of time root mean square (RMS) values of high frequency acoustic emission (AE) gener­ated by a mechanical seal provided on a rotary machine while the mechanical seal is in operation, performing operations to obtain a maximum value, a minimum value, a mean value and deviation of root mean square values within a specific duration of time, predicting, on the basis of either the magnitude of the values obtained through the operation, any tendency toward variation thereof, or integrated values calculated from those values, damage of or the possibility of leakage of sealed fluid from the sliding surfaces of the mechanical seal, and performing observation by judging from the predicted state whether or not the mechanical seal is in a normal state.
  • RMS root mean square
  • AE high frequency acoustic emission
  • the present invention also provides an apparatus for observing the operating state of a mechanical seal, which comprises: an acoustic emission sensor for measuring high frequency acoustic emission generated by a mechanical seal provided on a rotary machine while said mechanical seal is in operation; amplifier means for amplifying outputs from the acoustic emission sensor; a root mean square value voltmeter for converting amplified outputs from the amplifier means into root mean square values; a computer means performing operations to obtain a maximum value, a minimum value, a mean value and deviation of said root mean square values within a specific duration of time, and predicting, on the basis of either the magni­tude of the values obtained through the operation, any tendency toward variation thereof, or integrated values calculated from those values, damage of or the possibility of leakage of sealed fluid from the sliding surfaces of said mechanical seal; and display means for representing the values obtained and the results of predicting by the computer.
  • the present invention constructed as described above operates as follows.
  • observation of a mechanical seal is performed by evaluating the magnitude of each computed value, any tendency toward variation thereof, the mutual relationship therebetween, and the sum thereof by way of synthesis, predicting on the basis of the evaluation damage of or the possibility of leakage of sealed fluid from the sliding surfaces of the mechanical seal, and eventually judging whether the mechanical seal is operating under normal or abnormal state.
  • Fig. 1 is a block diagram of a device in accordance with the present invention for observing the operating state of a mechanical seal.
  • a high frequency acoustic emission sensor (AE sensor) 1 is mounted at a suitable position on a rotary machine having mechanical seals, such as a pump.
  • An output from the high frequency acoustic emission sensor 1 is amplified by a pre-amplifier 2, and then reaches a main amplifier 4 via a signal multiplexer 3 to be amplified.
  • the amplified output is converted into a root mean square value by a root mean square value voltmeter 5, and then reaches to be input into a computer 7 via an analog to digital convert­er 6.
  • the signal multiplexer 3 and the main amplifier 4 are controlled by the computer 7 via a digital output unit 8 to thereby select a sensor to be used for measurement and the most suitable amplifying ratio.
  • the computer 7 performs operations to obtain a maximum value, a minimum value, a mean value and deviation of the continuously measured root mean square values within a predetermined period of time, and computes and evaluates on the basis of an algorithm and a reference value the mag­nitude of each computed value, any tendency for variation thereof and their mutual relationship, whereby the operating state of a mechanical seal is judged in terms of damage of and the possibility of leakage of sealed fluid from the sliding surfaces thereof, the results of the judgement such as "halt", "normal", “caution” and "abnormal” and the resulting data not only being displayed on a display unit 9 such as a CRT and printed out by a printer 10 but also being stored in a memory device 11 such as a disk mass storage.
  • the data with respect to maintenance and inspection of a mechanical seal is input from an algorithm and a reference value
  • Fig. 2 shows an example of data display in a display unit, wherein the root mean square value level has been plotted against the time.
  • the maximum value, the minimum value and the mean value are represented by respective continuous lines, and the devia­tion value by vertical lines extending by 1 ⁇ (standard deviation value) on either side of the mean value which acts as a reference point.
  • This figure shows the data taken when four great changes in pressure took place between 9 a.m. (0900) and 3 p.m. (1500). From this data it can be seen how each value varied according to the rises and falls in pressure. Generally, when the pressure is high, the contact pressure on the sliding surfaces, i.e. the load, becomes large, and the level of the mean value and the like becomes high.
  • Illustrated in Fig. 3 is data showing the start-up state of a certain mechanical seal. Operation of the seal was started at 9 a.m. (0900) and proceeded thereafter. While the mechanical seal remained in a halted state, only an extremely low value determined by the noise level of the measuring instrument system was indicated, with almost no fluctuation. In a halted state, individual values remained substantially at a certain level. Thus, if set in a computer in advance, the halted and operating state can be distinguished. This judgement is useful in accurately integrating the actual operating tine of the mechanical seal.
  • Fig. 4 shows data taken for two days with respect to a mechanical seal which experienced changes in temperatures condition. This data indicates that the temperature started to increase at about 2 p.m. (1400) on the first day, when the mechanical seal appeared to be in a state wherein flush­ing was at a halt, and that it reached a level ranging from 90°C to substantially 120°C at 5 p.m. (1700). Although they changed at certain levels before the increase in temperature started, as the temperature gradually increased, a change occurred in the maximum and deviation values first, and then the mean value and the other values also started to change. The higher level of the values and the larger degree of fluctuation thereof indicates that the mechanical seal is in an abnormal state.
  • the computer judged the state as being a state of "caution” at 2:45 p.m. (1445), when a change occurred in the maximum and deviation values, and judged all states as being “abnormal” at and after 5 p.m. (1700), when the mean value reached a certain level.
  • Fig. 5 illustrates data showing a state wherein a temporary leakage occurred.
  • the leakage occurred only between 4 a.m. (0400) and 7 a.m. (0700), and at 12:00 midnight (0000) and 4 a.m. (0400), the minimum value was extremely low and close to the noise level, while the devia­tion value became high at 12:00 midnight (0000) and 4 a.m. (0400).
  • the computer judged the state as being a state of "caution”, and judged the state as being a state of "abnormal” at 5:30 a.m. (0530), when the deviation and the maximum values both became extremely low.
  • Fig. 6 illustrates data showing a state wherein an intermittent leakage occurred.
  • the "abnormal” judgement was made at about 11 a.m. (1100) on the first day when the maximum value increased and the same judgement was made for all conditions after 9 p.m. (2100) on the same day.
  • the leakage was confirmed after 8 a.m. (0800) on the second day. In this case, the leakage took place when the wear and roughness on the sliding surfaces developed to such an extent as to exceed a certain limit.
  • this example shows a case where an abnormal state can be detected in advance by evaluating the data indicating a drastic change in the frictional state.
  • Fig. 7 shows one example of the experimental data.
  • the amount of wear of a mechanical seal is plotted against the integrated value for mean values.
  • the amount of wear of a mechanical seal and the integrated value for mean values bear a sub­stantially proportional relationship.
  • the wear rate and the amount of wear of a mechanical seal can respectively be estimated from the data with respect to the mean values and the integrated value.
  • the computer is designed to obtain an integrated value for the mean values of a mechanical seal from the start-up point thereof and to display an estimated amount of wear.
  • This invention enables observation of the operating state of a mechanical seal for damage of or the possibility of leakage of sealed fluid from the sliding surfaces thereof to thereby allow detecting of any failure in advance or at an early stage.
  • this invention makes it possible to store data on high frequency acoustic emission generated by a mechanical seal and data on maintenance and inspection of a mechanical seal as data for use in opera­tions, as reference data in making comparisons, and so forth.
  • the maintenance and inspection of a mechanical seal which has previously been dependent on an expert's experience and has involved a great deal of labour and expense, can be performed accurately and efficiently.
